Or he didn't believe any of those players where capable of being the franchise PG.

Not sure if this is a typo, joke or if you are back on the bottle. If he signs somewhere it will be alot closer to the veterans minimum than $7.5M/year. Joe should be fired immediatly if he spends $15M on a washed up player to mentor a player that likely never will reach the levels of an average starting PG.

Like I said....if you're going to go all in on BK (and Joe is), then go ALL IN! See here's the thing......there's nowhere else for the money to go and it's better than just wasting the Cap Space, which we will ultimately end up doing. At least this time we're paying a washed up player that we all know and love.

We obviously need a starting SF and with GM starting at PF we need a backup C. If Stuckey is gone we'll need a another PG but since no plan not involving a white van is going to get Paul here and the rest of the FA PGs are either chuckers or suck it's more likely to be a backup PG or Calderon. Knowing Joe, I wouldn't be shocked to see Stuckey start in November.

This is probably the truth, although you'll only read it here.

You're correct...of course, but I would consider this Chauncey deal better than the one that JD signed Stuckey to several years back.

To fix the gap at the PG spot, I think we should give a 3 yrs/$21.0 M contract to go with the starting job for Jarret Jack. Then move Knight to a 6th man role.

Jarret Jack has a broken jump shot, which makes life difficult for Moose and Dre. Jack is best suited to be a backup PG and he's the best one in the league......so I'd sign him to be BK's backup. But I'm pretty sure that Jack will ultimately end up starting over BK, which makes you correct to begin with

You're getting closer. There is a distinct reason you are hearing rumors of JD going after Bledsoe (although is he not worth what he will command). This doesn't mean he has given up on Knight, but the best placement for him is coming off the bench in any combo fashion, until some decisions can be made about his future. Teague (restricted) is young, but worth some probing on the Piston's part. Jack (unrestricted) is a very solid player and I've always liked his maturity. Still, I would try one more approach and that would be having a talk with Mo Williams. He's unrestricted and only 30 years old. Remember, the Pistons need offense and who can hit a mid-range jumper to open thing up? You need go no further than Williams to answer that question.

You sure that a "start me or I sign elsewhere" player is who we're looking for.

Damn straight! I want a PG that has an attitude and who has been through some wars. I want a PG who looks around the war zone and when making it out; understands the seriousness of the situation that a certain redness coming out of him is his own blood. That's what it took for Chauncey. I would take that chance on Mo Williams. And believe me, the Pistons need that type of seriousness.
